Indeed I had the same error. Nothing I tried worked until I upgraded
the device mapper tools/libraries and the lvm stuff (not sure which one
fixed it, but doing both did)
Then it worked like a charm.

Hi everyone,
Judging by the archives, a few others have seen this issue, but I'm
getting errors when I try to pvmove off a PV to remove it from my VG:

I noticed one post that indicated pvmove requires snapshot support,
which I don't normally use. Before running this pvmove, I modprobed
all of the dm-* modules just to make sure.
The box in question is running Ubuntu Edgy Eft on i386. I've been
able to recover just fine from this by rebooting, running pvmove
--abort, and then rebooting again.
Obviously this prevents me from removing the volume though. Thanks in
advance for any help!
